Match Discussion: Round 22 vs Cowboys @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[macavity]

How can anyone expect anything but a loss? We suck...


Knights 42 - Cowboys 4

I'm a sadistic bastard so I'll probably watch the game full of hope...

close!

Nice to see they aren't shocking for a lad who didn't play many minutes.

What app is that btw?

If the nrl.com stats were correct, he had 0 runs for 0 metres and 24 tackles in his first 30 minute stint

You're not crazy Yosh, I'd take King over Glasby at this stage too. Although not sure how many runs he made.

Felt like we relied too heavily on our rep forwards in the first half.

5 of Fitzgibbon's runs came in the last 10 minutes, other than that he didn't make many on the edges especially tough runs.

Good win, but don't get carried away with this one. We finally delivered on expectation though.

Also Moga isn't up to it any more. It's a shame to say but we really need a centre or winger going into next year.

Should’ve seen Bradman Best in jersey Flagg today. We’ve got a good one coming through!

Absolute freak.. Scores a hat trick in his first game back from injury!

He’s not FG standard anymore and hopefully won’t be here next season.

So basically Ramien and Moga to go and Hunt isn't resigned with SKD looking like he won't be either. So we have Edrick Lee left for senior outside backs. Nice...

King has improved but he's still at this stage just a lesser version of Glasby, Glasby is a better defender, better ball runner, better at the wrestle, just overall a better player.
Glasby tackles at almost 95%, that's the highest percentage in our team for anyone not named Klemmer.

Might be tempted to drop Glasby altogether

no argument from me. Has been selected on reputation only for far too long

Star and Best ? ...............SKD also looked very slow when the line was open.

 

[Sydney Knight]

great to finally get a win but it was looking like a possible repeat of the tigers game. If a couple of bounces went the Cowboys way they could have been level or in front at Halftime.

At least we showed something holding them out for the first 5 or so minutes of the second half.

Hard to believe making the 8 is completely in our own hands after the last 6 weeks.

 

[Sydney Knight]

Sorry almost in our own hands. Still need Sharks to drop a game or Brisbane to drop 2

Agreed re SKD. When the last time we had a genuine speedster in the team?

Mamo was pretty quick

 

[slotmachine]

Brendan Elliott was legit fast

 

[Sydney Knight]

Albert then before that Greg Smith

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Mamo was pretty quick

He was pretty shit too

 

[aqua_duck]

Brendan Elliott was legit fast

Yep and he was probably the last one who actually showed it, remember him scoring some length of the field tries one in particular where he left Ponga in his wake

thats a real possibility
